Story of the Kingdom

The End and the Beginning

December 1, 2024 • Brian Brodersen

As we come to the end of our Story of God series, Pastor Brian Brodersen gives us an overview of the Book of Revelation. This book is truly a message of hope, a place we can go to for encouragement when things are confusing and dark. Listen in as Brian reminds us that in the end, God wins.

God's Transformative Love

November 24, 2024 • Char Brodersen

How is real character formed? Is it through following a law or rule? The obvious answer is no. What we find taught in the New Testament Scriptures is that transformation must be worked out in our everyday habits and practices so that the life of Jesus, the work of the Spirit, and the way of love become second nature. Listen as Char Brodersen teaches from Romans 12 and 13, continuing the Story of the Kingdom.

Baptism: the New Identity

November 3, 2024 • Brian Brodersen

What is baptism, and why should we be baptized? Listen as Brian and Char Brodersen answer these questions and speak on this beautiful act of identification, and watch as Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa hosts baptisms in the Sanctuary for the first time.

The Story of Salvation: Justification, Redemption, Regeneration

November 10, 2024 • Brian Brodersen

The gospel is radical. When someone becomes a Christian, God himself takes up residence in that person’s life. The Holy Spirit brings his dead spirit to life. And this is going to be recognizable practically because we become partakers of the divine nature. Listen as Pastor Brian Brodersen teaches on the Story of Salvation from Ephesians 1.

A Different Kind of Kingdom

October 13, 2024 • Char Brodersen • Mark 1:1–15

The end of Malachi leaves us waiting and longing for the kingdom of God. As the curtain rises on the New Testament, the nation of Israel is still in exile, and there is deep unrest. People know that something dramatic and life-changing is about to happen. How and when will the kingdom come about? It is coming, but not in the way the people expect. Listen as Char Brodersen gives us a sneak peek into the Gospel of Mark.

The Gospel of the Kingdom

October 6, 2024 • Brian Brodersen • Matthew 4:13–25

As we begin the Story of the Kingdom, Pastor Brian reminds us that we are ambassadors of God’s kingdom here and now. We can spread this kingdom into our neighborhoods, into our communities, and into the farthest reaches of the earth. Are you a part of that kingdom? You can enter into it through the death and resurrection of Jesus. You are welcome! Accept his invitation today!

The Victory of God

October 20, 2024 • Char Brodersen • John 18:33—19:30

On the cross, the world’s true and rightful King, God in human flesh, was lifted up, exalted for all people to see. In Jesus, we see what kingship really looks like—sacrificial, substitutionary, a beautiful stewardship, victorious and hope-filled. This is good news for all! Listen as Char Brodersen breaks down John 18 and 19, focusing on the victory of God through Christ!

The Spirit Breaks In - The Kingdom Breaks Out

October 27, 2024 • Char Brodersen • Acts 1:1–12, Acts 2:1–47

As we continue the Story of the Kingdom, Char Brodersen takes us through Acts 1 and 2, showing the centrality of Jesus in the early church. When we keep Jesus as the center of our lives, his life will overflow our banks and impact the world around us. His goodness will be known and felt in our cities and communities, producing a powerful witness to the kingdom of God.
